2020 Map of Cogswell

About this map

Cogswell stands as the primary hub in this Sargent County landscape, characterized by a structured grid of streets including Prospect Ave and several numbered avenues. The surrounding prairie is defined by its water management and agricultural layout, featuring Ditch Number 11 and the winding course of the Wild Rice River in the southeast. For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites are documented across the township lines, including Mount Calvary Cem just west of the main townsite, Nicholson Cem near the settlement of Nicholson, and the more isolated Old Sargent Cem to the east. The terrain is marked by numerous seasonal wetlands such as Meszaros Slough, illustrating the hydrologic complexity of the Red River Valley region. This survey captures the enduring rural character of the area, where section-line roads like Co Rd 3 and 90th St SE provide the framework for the modern North Dakota countryside.
